Mina Rose here! I’m excited to announce the release of The Sims 3! EA’s done it again, making the newest installation of the Sims one of the highest anticipated PC games to come out in a long time! This sequel takes place in the town of Sunset Valley. Yes, it’s only one town right now, but after you register your game, you can download the town Riverview. It also will have online interaction! Whoo!

Something I’m not too excited about is the Sims online store… The whole idea of paying money to buy my Sims couches, clothes, accessories, or game applications seems really silly. Of course, like all of the other games, I will be creating my own game content and putting it into my game. BUT if you really wanna know more about EA’s online Sims store, here’s what I’ve learned:

“To get you started, EA will give you 1,000 SimPoints in your account. You can purchase more SimPoints in 500-, 1,000-, and 2,000-point packages; 1,000 SimPoints costs $10, so basically think of it as 100 points as costing $1.”
The store will feature exclusive items made by the creators and development team. There are 5 sections, and I also read that you can shop in different ways. You can buy whole sets, different room sets, or items individually.

I just bought the game today, and haven’t had time to play it. I’ll be sure to write a follow up article, and post pictures of my character, as well as a video of me playing it.
For now, I’m outtie!

Yours cruelly,
Mina Rose
